Description Jessica 2011-07-29 15:24:32 UTC 
Did a fresh git clone of latest poky-master and tried to use hob and it's broken with the following symptoms:

1. If I just start hob and select Machine: qemux86, Base Image: core-image-minimal and do a bake, I'll get: "Could not include required file recipe-core/images/core-image-base.bb.bb" (BTW, I've verified that the tasklistmodel.py file contains commit a1e18b913ffb7e31fe1fd6f785d15dbfad365228 that resolves bug 1247)

2.  Then I restart hob, but it just spinning there forever, after some debug, I noticed it's due to the following lines been added to the config file:

BBPATH := "${BBPATH}:/tmp/hob-images"
BBFILES := "${BBFILES} /tmp/hob-images/*.bb"

But if I manually removed the above lines, it'll go back to problem 1

On a fresh clone of master I can't reproduce this. I believe the issue is bad temporary files in /tmp/hob-images/.

I shall work on a patch to remove that directory on program exit as the files stored there are only intended to be temporary.

with the /tmp/hob_images removed, the problem is gone now
